Pars Planitis

I was diagnosed with Pars Plinitis at age 9 (I am now 33).  I was just researching the disease a little further and found a connection with Multiple Sclerosis.  I had a few symptoms of MS a few years ago.  Lightheaded, dropping things, balance was off. tingling in right thumb.  My mother was diagnosed with MS approx. 4 years ago.  Anyway, I read that 7% of people with Pars Planitis develope MS.  SHould I request an MRI from my Dr. or am I being paranoid?

THanks for any help.

No there is a connection between PP and MS.  See a neurologist before doing any MRI.

I have pars planitis and MS.  The symptoms you describe are much like mine.  I have had MS for over 20 years and my case is mild but I am on Rebif.  Keep bugging the doctors and ask to see a neurologist.  If you have MS you need to be on treatment.  Good luck.

Your eye sight will not loss due to Pars planitis if we avoide unnrcessary treatments.Taking steroide is better in the begining state. But a very negative result will occure due to yhe prolonged use and it may led to complete eye loss of sight.
Treatment for PP and MS from my experience:-Avoide tension avoide dusty places Avoide physical heavy work such as lifting srock using u r hand .Drink more and more water(about 10 litres per day)Now look at the back side of u r ear is it oily may be.Clean thre or four time using soap You can control the P P by this type of life style This findigs isgot  from my experiance Try if u can
with good luck salam60
